A chip van compared with other options

See our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A few benches near the van help.

Dane Hill: your questions answered
Is Dane Hill close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Dane Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What are the terms for events?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
